| Nicholas Caire (1837–1918) | ||||||||||
| Born in Guernsey, Caire moved to Australia with his parents in the 1860s. He developed an interest in photography from an early age and later studied under the photographer Townsend Duryea. Initially specialising in portrait photography, he shifted his focus to outdoor and landscape photography following the development of the dry plate method. He devoted the rest of his career to capturing the Australian landscape, particularly the bush, rainforests, gullies, and mountains of south-eastern Victoria. Many of his works also portray Australian Aboriginal people and early pioneer life. Caire's images reveal a sensitive and passionate photographer with an artistic approach, producing high-quality works executed under ideal conditions with rich detail and mellow tones. He died in Armadale, Victoria. | ||||||||||
